I don't understand the EU links

Can someone from Anet please comment on WHY are the linkings like this?

Why 2 T1 servers one full and the other very high have linkings, and servers like sfr don’kittens

the worse linking they pulled out, just merge already you clearly have no idea what you’re doing, a 5yo kid would do it better.

[WvW] Auras are not working

There’s definitely something wrong with presence of the keep, either its “killing” the auras or just not working

Picture: we have the keep with +5 and presence of the keep, and the buff is not displayed, and you have only +5, no +10.

Your top 5 priorities for WvW-Overhaul

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

1. PPT ticks should be every 30 minutes, and it should reward you depending on how upgraded your objectives are. Example:
keep base 20, Secured 25, T2 30, T3 40. Holding objectives must have a reward.

2. Wp on keeps should be avaliable after T2 upgrade for the server who actually holds the structure.

3. Give proper rewards to WvW. And the WvW upgrades for guilds should be with materials you get by playing WvW not for farming Pve.

4. Lower the damage, specially the condition damage and condition spamming of some clases (hello necro condi chill). Fix Stability, give more stacks and remove CC (daze) from guardian traps, it’s stupid OP.

5. Give guild rewards to brag about. Like some kind of skin on claimed objectives or some kind, don’t know, but give something.

Big WvW overhaul later this year...

By the time they finish the overhaul there will be no players left, they will jump to another game. After 2 years i don’t see myself playing the this kind of WvW for 3 months more. Something will appear.

Dueling in WvW ... not a good place?!?

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

WvW is in a weird state, it should be a battlefield yet players ask you to stop and respect every fight “GvG” near towers or even duels near the sides of SM.

At this point don’t really care because the game is kinda dead, but it is quite the bullkitten to have to respect everythign in WvW. Red enemy must die, don’t really care if dueling GvGing etc.

But at the end we all want to play without having trouble so you end up “respecting?” their fights. Even when raiding you ask yourself if you really are allowed to add in on that fight or this fight etc.

It’s just a load of Bullkitten. But i guess since PPT is completely dead, and capping has never been so boring, we’ll adapt.

I really miss the clusterkittens in bay and Hills, and Garrison sometimes

WvW travel times

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

Old traveltimes where about 1:10 between garri wp and any of the side keeps Wps, it took about 2:15 minutes to run from spawn to the side keeps (jumping cliffs properly)
and a bit less than a minute to get to Garri wp.

Haven’t checked the new ones, but as it is atm, you should be able to get to your wp keeps in less than 1:30 (Air keep with 3 shrines is significant faster since you can jump down and get directly to inner with the jumpads). By wp i mean the ones you can actually wp to. I dont really think it is worth to keep your home border yours, but to share diferent borders.

Any recommendation for wvw serv in EU?

Posted by: Algerius.5238

AG is the next european server and its “full” by Anet standards, when we can’t fill 2 maps on primetime.
Just keep there and wait a bit, you can transfer down but i don’t really recomend that.

New maps are trully amazing

Algerius.5238

Anet has really made it mates, this borderlands bring the wvw experience to a level
never met before, it’s fantastic.
Establishing the fundamentals of healthy play, several fights during your playtime,
traveling across the maps is now short and not really necessary to find fights.

In this new borderlands everything is perfect, things like the pve laser event
sound as good as everything else, perfectly executed, wvw players demanded it.

Seeing this, i can’t really say anything bad, the lag spikes during the laser event. To be
honest it’s not that bad, it’s like a publicity break when watching a movie, you can chill
ingame and take a small break for 15-20 minutes until the event finishes and then
take your group of players again and resume playing.

Thank you very much anet.
PS: You can also read my posts vertically ô_ô, wanted them to emulate your maps.

Face it, everything in the expansion is amazing, including WvW.
Unlike other games and comunities anet has listened to the players and they have
come up with the best update ever, helping the wvw population to grow, no more
karma trains in the new maps, no more blobs.

You are the best developers ever, thanks for reading the forums and participating on
our threads. Its really satisifying to see that you keep in touch with us and you have,
unlike other games, adressed our complains and issues.

It’s nice to see that silence has never been an option for you. Thanks ^^

PS: Love the verticality on the new maps

Guild Hall, Guild Claiming and WvW

Guild Hall, Guild Claiming and WvW

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

Why did you steal the capacity of guilds to claim objectives, and why did you steal the capacity to buff them and you didn’t give anything to the wvw guilds to make up for that?

Why do we have to go to PVE to get upgrades for WvW? why do i need to farm kitten from PVE to upgrade the mine to be able to upgrade in WvW, the amount of ley line “forks” and ley line sparks is an utter joke for a medium size WvW guild, you are punishing us for sticking in the game mode we like the most.

I don’t really find fair to ask my members, who joined the guild because we wanted our time to raid in WvW together, to farm like crazy on PVE so we can pull the upgrades instead of playing the gamemode they like the most and be rewarded.

Is WvW only guild dead together with WvW?

I thought Gw2 selling point is that whatever you do, play what you want and enjoy the game. Guess what, this is no more. If you want to upgrade your guild towards the game mode you want you now have to be the perfect PVE kitten and farm the boring kitten events for hours to get the mastery level to get the materials to pull the WvW ugprades.

Literally killing the gamemode by forcing the WvW guilds out of the gamemode to get their stuff for WvW, maps are empty, no response from the devs, anything. Aurora Glade was flooding the maps 2 weeks ago, now we hardly have one map queued on primetime. PVE lures people outside from WvW, but what you’ve done is just destroying the WvW population from the inside.

Also preventing the small scale guilds/roamers to be relevant because their guild size doesn’t let them upgrade the guild halls, and the WvW upgrades consecuently, THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE, and it’s entirelly your fault.

Shame on you.

Make WvW Great Again

New Borderlands are pretty, big, keeps and structures have personality etc, but the “core” of playing WvW has been neglected.

In my opinion the most important things in WvW are:
- Players want fights (bigger/smaller), scout, siege, plan attacks interact with the enemies etc.
- Everyone want to feel needed in the server: commanders, scouts, zerg players, guild groups. Everyone needs to feel important and useful, and being part of the same unit.

The WvW changes haven’t adressed properly the issues, borderlands are too big, and it takes to much time to move across the map, structure upgrades makes scouting less valuable,

Here some examples and solutions:

Upgrades shouldn’t be automatic, someone should be triggering them and having a small credit for being there. This prevents the snowball of big zergs karma training everything and the smaller servers giving up on the enemy.

Dolyaks should be a necessary requirement to upgrade structures and not only shorten the upgrade time, doesn’t make any sense. Again to prevent the snowball of the biggest servers and avoid “random” upgrades (even if you can see the enemy upgrade timer).

Side keeps on the borderlands need the waypoints back for 2 reasons:
- Traveltime to get fights will shorten because groups of players will be able to travel around the map faster and get where they want to get
- Keeps will recover their value as keeps and be important instead of being an objective more.

Maybe it would be important to add, Garri should have a waypoint with the first upgrade and side keeps should get a waypoint with the T2 upgrade. Also keep guards should be like a sentry (not reveal the total number but give a signal across the map)

Southern tower waypoints are not useful. If it gets contested it takes you so much time to move from garrison to there that it will be lost by the time you get there. And that waypoints cant be attended by the home server.

About the T1 upgrades. Cannons should be in T2 upgrade and Walls in T1. Cannons in 30 min its just to strong (look at stonemist).

This are some basic issues that should improve the quality of WvW.

Tl:dr
- Need to trigger upgrades
- WP back to the side keeps in borderlands
- No cannons in T1
- Dollies a must for the keep upgrades, not only to shorten the upgrade time.
- Guards in keeps should “scout” enemies if they attack on gates.

WvW and the Heart of Thorns Release

Can you please all speak in a civilized tone and try to tone down your rage mode?
Even I as a player just roll my eyes and ignore every post that sounds like it’s written by someone who’s just rageing.

Please, try to be productive and find a solution and offer alternatives to satisfy even the SEA players.

We have a right to be angry about this idiocy. Nobody wants to be told how or when to play and have their weekend gaming ruined. Or have your gaming schedule completely wrecked now because of this terrible idea.

Not to mention the terrible idea being stated AFTER many bought the HoT update.
True you didn’t need HoT to play new wvw maps, however many gave Anet the benefit of the doubt, to be stabbed again.

This so much, pay your preorder now so we can stab you right in the back.

Hello All,

There are a couple of reasons for the change to reset time. One is for the overall quality of the game. The last few years we have been careful to not disrupt the WvW reset time but this has at times made it difficult for our team to address issues during reset day. This change will give our team an extra day of the week that they can use to respond to issues that may occur with WvW or any other area of the game if it is necessary. In the early days we wanted reset to be during a weekday to ensure we had people available to monitor the game at reset time, but at this point we have seen the ongoing stability of World vs. World and resetting on a weekday is no longer necessary.

Another reason is the emergent gameplay that has come from reset. It has become one of the most exciting times for WvW and we would really love for more players to have the opportunity to experience it. We have many more players logging in on Saturday than on Friday which means with this change many more people will be available to experience the rush of claiming objectives for their world during reset.

However, given the concerns posted here we will be moving the Saturday reset to earlier in the day to give most players the majority of the day to enjoy the start of the new match. Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA and 11am BST / 12 pm CEST (10 am UTC) for EU. Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time / Summer Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST and 10am GMT / 11am CET.

Thank you for your feedback. We realize that no time we pick is going to work for everyone but this change is going to benefit even more players overall while at the same time giving us a little more breathing room to improve the quality of the game during the week.

Thanks,
John

12 CEST reset? You must be joking.

Why would you do a reset during the friggin morning. You literally don’t give a toss about the core of wvw players, they are the ones that keep this game mode without updates and with all your BS events alive and you are turning the back on them.

Shame on you.

No extreme k-train edition of WvW, i just want to fight the enemy not see 24/7 EOTM in EB and borders kitten .

Is any dev actually watching the maps or how this “event” is doing? Do you think this is even entertaining? None of my wvw guild is playing WvW today, everyone went offline or straight to pve/pvp, this is a disaster.

0 interaction with enemies, permanent k-train. This is what you do to kill the playerbase that actually enjoy wvw, by flooding the map by k-trainers who won’t discover what is WvW because what they do is pvd pvd pvd with golems, as sad as chestfarm in SW.

Stop this event now pls and let us play alone, you’re not fixing bugs, you’re not fixing unbalance, you are not fixin pirateship, it’s oke. Just don’t kitten up the entire gamemode and condemn us to play this kitten.

Hey from your rivals,

Aurora Glade has a guild for dedicated scouters and we care about defending our border. In fact sometimes we overdoit.

But with the matchup we have in front i can understand that a lot of ppl on Gunnars have chosen not to defend since abbadons blob decides what to engulf 24/7.

Omega golems have no place in wvw

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

The only thing golems are useful is to help blobby servers steamrolling structures and make a perma karma train. Making the diferences between servers with diferent population even bigger and making any defence tactics useless because all the siege you have in the keep becomes useless. Only middle stairs arrocarts and inner trebs to drain the gates remain useful until they breach the gate.

Sieging structures with money, absolutely killing the smaller servers during difficult matchups because nobody is able to hold anything if a permablob of 50 players and 5 omega golems are just running in circles.

Blobbadons is just disgusting.

When you lose you claim in forums and other gw2 communitie sites that you’re being doubletimed.

Now that you’ve got a massive income of transfers you guildblob everywhere (depressing to see all the guilds blobbing from both drakkar’s and gunnars this last week, of course some exceptions)

And now"fast caps without siege" in the morning lol, just when the wp was being finished in Bay so we had about 5 players around…

There’s nothing worse for a server that losing its own identity.

I don’t care losing, just having fun… It appears not to be the same for some servers.

Problem with gear for wvw

in WvW

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

My point here is that they have to change how the vendor works, if you pay gold for gear and the wvw currency you should be able to salvage it or at least have some kind of mecanism to extract the runes from the gear without going into the gemstore cause some meta runes are expensive like crazy (hello hoelbrak, strengh) also you can salvage dungeon armor why not wvw?

On another point they have to update the vendor with the sets with the new stats, trying new builds/ comps in wvw is important and funny and they have to promote that.

Thanks for the kind responses.

Algerius.5238

Been playing wvw for 6 months atm, and it’s been imposible for me to end any of my ascended armour things (it’s like a dream, i manage with exotic gear tho), i just use up too much money on siege and upgrading structures.

I just feel disgusted to see that i can only get a small portion of the gear stats with wvw currency, none of the new gears can be found in wvw armor vendors.

Why is that? Why do I have to play pve to get builds for wvw?

Vendors in wvw need to be updated with the new gears with new stats.

About outfits..

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Algerius.5238

Algerius.5238

This is just to say that I feel somehow disapointed by the fact that some outfits like [noble count outfit] have nothing on the headgear spot and you can’t customize either.

I just wanted to combine it with the inventor’s sunglases but when i bought it i couldn’t do it and I realized what was happening with them and how outfits worked.

I understand that a full body outfit might work like that and have nothing swappable but in this case… don’t know I expected it to be diferent. It’s my fault but can’t this be changed?

TLDR disapointment with the noble count outfit.
Sorry my bad english.
